There is a video out there of him partaking in some tribal initiation ceremony in Brazil, where he wears gloves with bullet ants woven in. (Bullet ants are called so as the pain from their sting is apparently comparable to being shot).

Don't go by wiki that often but since I've got little interest in him, no offense, it seems he may have only spent a year practicing Judo... must've have been brilliant at what he was doing to attain 1st Dan inside a year.

None of the pythons I keep are even half the size of the constrictors this bloke is handling, but if their strength is proportional to their size then I hope for his sake that he has at least one or two other competent handlers nearby, because those snakes are very good at what they do.
